and the plates just keep coming....

Easy to get to by bus or commuter train. Casual ambiance including a TV playing an Arabic (muted) news channel.

We had a group menu including soup, appetizers, grilled meats, and dessert, all served family style. Plate after plate of food arrived, and we polished it all off. Everything was lovely and flavorful without being spicy. Best falafels I’ve ever had — and they were green inside! Don’t forget to squirt lime in the soup! The food is hearty and would be suited to a winter visit.

The service was pleasant and informative, but very slow and the restaurant was incredibly noisy. When the noise level was at its absolute loudest, the staff put on a soccer game on the radio!

Dishes I tried:

This is a non-alcoholic drink, an icy cold smoothie made with strawberries and banana. Very tall and very good.

lentil soup

Don’t let the bowl fool you, this is not the watery stuff you get in Indian restaurants — this was thick and flavorful. Don’t forget to squirt a little lime juice in it, it will make a good thing much better.

A clean up the fridge type of dish, including rice, macaroni, lentils, unmolded onto a large plate and topped with fried onions. I could have eaten a whole meal of this. Try a little of the “hot” sauce or hummus with it.

Konafa à la crème

Dessert was a light and lovely square of phyllo dough with cream in the middle, perfumed lightly with rosewater, and drizzled with honey. Sweeeet!

falafels

These are the best falafels I’ve ever had. They were shaped like an overstuffed donut and were bright green in the middle. Yet they were light as a feather.
